Unfortunately running a wire from the T connector to the ethernet card put to much of a load on the card and risks burning it out (I was told this by a technician at Western Digital) As far as keeping things neat goes you have several options, basically the neater you want it to be, the greater expense you will inccur. The ideal would be to wire inside of the ceilings and walls. This is difficult and expensive. You could simply wire down the walls and through the ceiling if you have a dropped ceiling with reasonable ease. You can get plastic covers for the wires at most larger hardware stores. These plastic covers can be painted to match the walls. -Rudi Halbright rh1m@andrew.cmu.edu
